First time at SoCal at SoCal . Busy Saturday evening, but we were able to be seated. Had great server staff. My husband had the grilled cheese and roast beef sandwich and I had the barbacoa tacos; both were fantastic. He had an old fashioned and I had a lemon drop martini. Both were good.

Everything was perfect including the atmosphere, waitress, service, and my grilled cheese French dip with delicious cole slaw-the best I ever tasted. Everyone in our party was thrilled-two others got the bowls and one other the chicken sandwich. Everyone was a happy camper!

Wonderful experience! Many delicious vegetarian options and wonderful cocktails/wine. The capstone was the phenomenal service given to us by Jeylan. She was incredible and should teach a master class on friendliness, attentiveness and suggestive selling. She solidified our already wonderful experience. To boot, it was our anniversary!

The waiter served so slowly and checked on us very rarely. When I said the slow service to her, she showed her attitude without saying any apologies.

Overall everything was very good. Food was good. Service was also good, but had to wait for coffee refills after asking a couple times. Just wish the Brunch menu had a couple more choices…especially adding Eggs Benedict to the menu. I know that this can be a challenge, but I feel that the chef would be up to the task. Thank you.
